Other PA-12 Blogging From Christopher Renner At Red State

by Smitty Christopher Renner is also on the PA-12 case, posting at Red State and his own digs, including a map of what a train wreck the layout of the PA-12 district has become under the Murtha tenure. Maybe I should walk that back: I don’t live there, and the citizens of PA may think […]

Charlie Crist And The Backpack Of Conservative Principles

by Smitty Dan Riehl reports that Charlie has been kicked to the curb by the NRSC website. Cheech and Chong do a fine rendition of a Crist figure trying to convince a webmaster that he’s packin’ the gear. More from Cassie: Heh: Charlie Crist’s flip-flop makes John Kerry look like the Rock of Gibraltar. And. […]

Paul Ryan Is Great, Even If His Ideas Need Work

by Smitty Rep. Paul Ryan is that absolutely rare political animal who manages to be at once wonkish and likeable. In a system geared by election frequency toward myopia, he has had the unmitigated gall to offer something like a tangible plan to work on the most pressing fiscal problems besetting the country.

With whom? Lots of people are cigarette smokers, and I submit that the godforsaken Ponzi scheme that is Social Security is popular, relatively […]

‘Build The Party, Trust The People,
Save The Country’–McCotter At SRLC

by Smitty Thaddeus McCotter is heroic. He starts off with an “simple country lawyer” reference, going back to Anatomy of a Murder, and continues through a rousing speech with punchline sufficiently arid for Steven Wright. Thaddeus McCotter: because not all rhetoric has to be served in ALL CAPS with a shot of adrenaline. Update: Moelanche!

Ilya At Notre Dame

by Smitty Ilya Somin will speak at Notre Dame on Thursday. He’s a rather busy fellow at Cato, but threw down the gauntlet to the Constitutionally illiterate on the topic of health care:

Light My Fire, Or,
My Political Funeral Pyre

by Smitty You know that it would be untrue, You know that I would be a liar, If I was to say to you, I’ve only got 218 blatantly un-American pieces of work that I desperately need to retire. . . That last line seems to be just a bit short. Meanwhile, the OCTOPUS (Ol’ […]
